In 2017, the Ripple cryptocurrency has turned a lot of heads, especially on the price charts! Increasing in value several times over since the beginning of the year and making several partnerships with banks throughout the world. Most Recently, Ripple has also committed to “locking” 55Billion of their tokens in a special escrow contract.

As Ripple’s popularity grows, it becomes easier to buy it with fiat. Several exchanges have added trading pairs for Ripple, most recently Kraken. However, this guide will teach you how to buy XRP using the Bitstamp platform. So, let’s get to it!

Now, you can choose to do an instant order or to choose any other from the list on the left corner. For simplicity sake, we’re choosing the instant order which means that we’re going to take a sell order that has already been created. However, you can also choose to create your buy order in “Limit Order”

Step 3: Choose whether you want to buy or sell XRP. We want to buy in this case so click "Buy XRP".

Step 4: Enter the amount you want to buy

Step 5: Click “Buy XRP”

Well done! Let’s see how the “Limit Order” works!

Step 6: Click “Limit Order”

Step 7: Enter the amount of XRP you want to buy

Step 8: Choose the price (you can check the order book below)

Step 9: Click “Buy XRP”

Well, you have now learned how to buy XRP! It’s pretty simple. If you want to sell it, just select “Sell” instead of buy on the Instant Buy page or fill out the buy tab (and not the sell tab) on the Limit Order page.

Alternatively, you can also mine other coins or you can also try buying a cloud mining contract with Hashflare or Genesis Mining. You can use the profits to buy XRP since Ripple itself can't be mined.
